    He's been one of my amazing herps i have so far and he's grown well into a mature and charming young adult Common Greenback. Always hungry and definitely not camera shy.

    Here are 2 shots of him caught just stoning his moments away....





    He's been around for almost 2 years now and is happily residing in a 2 footer vivarium set up with his very own mini pool and a waterfall. He's such a pampered frog!!

    Regards,
    Phillipe.

    He's sitting in the 2ft lengthwise vivarium. The vertical 2 footer is for the other herps.

    Hi Wild Ginger, your herp setup is very nice! Is that a bromeliad ( large curved waxy leaves) in the foreground? May I know the name of this plant?

    Thanks wks, the tank's going to go under the knife pretty soon. And yes, the plant which ya mentioned is a bromeliad. That's a Neorelegia 'Alpha'.

    Here's a look from the frontal side of the tank.

    hi wild ginger, that's a really lovely frog. did you raise him from a tadpole? i used to keep tadpoles of four-lined tree frogs. released them when they metamorphosed though. fourlineds are a bit drab in colour but still pretty, imho. do you keep any other frog species?

    Beautiful greenback. I released mine where i caught him several weeks ago though. He started croaking so i figured he wanted a mate.

    hi Wild Ginger,
    great frog there, and beautiful vivarium too. Was just curious to know what you feed you young greenbacks - before they are large enough to swallow crickets.
    thanks

    Thanks mates for the coments. Right now she's moved to a vertical terrarium, more suited for her as she loves to climb.

    She's been with me for several years now and i can say she's a tame girl. I fed her with pinhead crickets when she was barely able to swallow a normal cricket size. On occasionally, i'll give her some mealworms as a variety to her staple diet.

    Regards,
    Phillipe.

    Where does one get pinhead crickets? I have to release tadpoles because there's nothing they can eat...

    XnSdVd, you can try Eco Culture for the pinheads. Will be asking Azmi if he can supply me. Release tadpoles? I hope the frogs are native... And tadpoles eat crickets??

    I believe the tadpole was from a giant malayan frog. I released it when it grew hind legs. I wasn't taking the tiny mealworms you gave me.
